  "description": "Discover why Google AI Overviews might be ignoring your website and learn how to diagnose technical, content, and citation gaps to improve your AI visibility.",
  "summary": "Google AI Overviews prioritizes synthesis over traditional search rankings. If your site is ignored, you must audit your crawler accessibility, content relevance, and citation intelligence to align with how AI models process and present information to users.",
  "answer": "Google AI Overviews often ignores websites because AI models prioritize information synthesis and direct answer relevance over traditional SEO backlink metrics. If your site is absent, you likely face a gap in how the model perceives your content authority or technical accessibility. To resolve this, you must shift from tracking organic rankings to monitoring specific AI-generated prompts. By using Trakkr to analyze citation intelligence and crawler behavior, you can identify if your content is being indexed correctly or if competitors are capturing the narrative. This diagnostic process allows you to implement targeted technical fixes that align your pages with the requirements of modern answer engines.",
